3. My teen has Opera on his phone. He uses their VPN too.

So I thought about that...I know nothing about the VPN that comes with Opera. Would it have the same issues I had raised about being linked to outside places that are less than transparent.

Do you trust it TB? Sounds like it comes with the browser and I was not sure if a kid should be using it.

Thank you for your response!

I figure a VPN might be useful for banking, health (mychart), and taxes at a minimum. Financial stuff and health stuff. Maybe using DU?
